First up is @ivyvann's bill HB340 on open containers, which she is withdrawing due to having learned it's redundant. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Next up is Norm Silber's HB459 on budgeting for counties, municipalities, school districts, etc. Previously I'd heard it was just codifying existing practice, but recently I've learned there might be more to listen for, so, let's see. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Becky Benvenuti of the NHMA is testifying against HB459, continuing the trend of me finding myself agreeing more with the "con" voices on this bill than the "pro" ones. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Rep. Lascelles, I'm glad to hear you'd like to promote diversity, but if you'd like to do so, maybe don't refer to there being a "standard ethnicity". Like, I know what you mean, just maybe consider rewording. Glad to have your support for HB586 though. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Margaret Byrnes of the NH Municipal Association just testified as being "neutral" on HB586, which I thought would be pointless at first, but apparently that's actually a move to being more positive on this bill than they previously were (they previously opposed it). #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com
